Description of problem:
When installing RH8, the installer consistently crashes during installation of 
the evolution package.  As a result, I'm unable to install Red Hat 8 on my 
system - it keeps crashing at the same place in the install process.

This is when it's almost done with installing packages, out of 652 packages 
in "workstation" install mode, it had successfully installed 596.

The error dialog that comes up says that it could not open:

/mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/evolution-1.0.8-10.i386.rpm

When I hit <return> after reading the error message, I get a stack trace and an 
unhandled exception message asking me to report the stack trace to bugzilla.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH8 in "workstation" mode.
2. Choose pretty much all the default options, no customization.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The install process goes fine until the package installation 
phase.  Out of 652 total packages, it installs the first 596 just fine 
(transitioning to CD #2 through the process).  When it gets to evolution-1.0.8-
10 it reports an error and then crashes.

Expected Results:  Should have either installed evolution successfully, or 
skipped on and installed the next package.  I am currently unable to install 
Red Hat at all on my system - every time I try it keeps crashing at the same 
place in the install process.

Additional info:

Here're my detailed observations when I took notes the second time this 
happened.  These notes include the stack trace from anaconda:

during installation of Red Hat 8.0, in "workstation" mode:
while beginning to install package:
evolution-1.0.8-10
26,412 KBytes

install status was:
total packages: 652 (1888M)
completed: 596 (1428M)
remaining: 56 (460M)

got the following error message:

The file /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/evolution-1.0.8-10.i386.rpm cannot be opened.
This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media.
Press <return> to try again.

After pressing return, got the following error:

An unhandled exception has occurred.  This is most likely a bug.
Please copy the full text of this exception or save the crash dump to a floppy
then file a detailed bug report against anaconda at

The following text was in a text box in the error message:

Clicked on "save to floppy" and got the attached dump file.
